Evenings with Cary Grant : recollections in his own words and by those who knew him best / Nancy Nelson ; [foreword by Barbara and Jennifer] by Nelson, Nancy (Nancy Lynn) Applause Theatre & Cinema Books, c2012. Call #: 791.43028 G761n Subjects Grant, Cary, 1904-1986.   Motion picture actors and actresses -- United States -- Biography. ISBN:  9781557839237 (pbk.) 1557839239 (pbk.) Description:  411 p. : photos, ports ; 23 cm. Notes:  Originally published in hardcover in 1991 by William Morrow and Company, Inc. Published in paperback in 2003 by Kensington Publishing Corp. Summary:  "Evenings with Cary Grant is a richly detailed story of a young, spirited vaudevillian named Archie Leach, who transformed himself by sheer willpower, work, taste, talent, and perseverance into the incomparable star of international fame. In this candid portrait, the Cary Grant we meet was effortlessly debonair, elegant, funny, poised - and an unabashedly romantic lover. We also get to know a Grant who was humble, shy, surprisingly vulnerable, a seeker. A man of splendid incongruities, his clothes were impeccable, and his demeanor proper, but his jokes often reflected the bawdy music-hall humor of his youth. He never wasted a dime, yet he shared his wealth with dozens of charities. He was a consummate professional, a somtimes irritating perfectionist who rose above a traumatic childhood and failed marriages to become a silver screen icon. Beneath the glamour was a real and complicated man. This is a story in Grant's own words and by insightful reminiscences of his friends, colleag;ues, and loved ones - including legends Katharine Hepburn, Gregory Peck, James Stewart, Audrey Hepburn, Elizabeth Taylor, Burt Reynolds, Sophia Loren, Quincy Jones, Deborah Kerr, and George Burns - over one hundred fifty in all. This is the definitive biography of Cary Grant."--Back cover Genre:  Biographies. Other authors:  Grant, Cary, 1904-1986.
